Well, Father God, we're just so grateful to be in your house today. And together in your name, we know you're here, Lord. And that's such a blessing. Please bless this service. Lord, may we worship you in spirit and in truth. Be with us in the music and the singing. And for everyone who's got just cares on their heart, may they cast them upon you, Lord. Please be with the pastor as he presents the message. And we just love you, Lord, and thank you. In Jesus' holy name, we pray. Amen. Amen. And then this morning's scripture reading is gonna be 1 John 2, verses 21 to 25. Let's all read this together, please. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lies of the truth. Who is a liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, The same hath not the Father, but he that acknowledges the Son hath all the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. Amen.
